The constitution appoints the Chief Justice to preside over the trial. Judges have broad discretion. The constitution call for high crimes and misdemeanors. That threshold has not been met. A judge could throw it out.
If this should happen, there will be consequences like none have ever seen.
I think it is possible for this become a hot civil war. There are big names facing jail time....
Three weeks ago I had no concern, now I am concern about the Democrat party behavior. Debating when I need to place my 401K and other savings into safe harbors.
Every stunt being orchestrated by the Dems/media serves the purpose to generate large point, above the fold, headlines. Case in point “EX-COUNSEL McGAHN DEFIES SUBPOENA” as seen today in the local Communist rag, “The Gainesville Sun”.
The Dems/media know that scary looking headlines are a very effective means to seed the reasoning process (a challenge to one celled organisms) of their brain dead emotion based voters, fully realizing these people obtain their “knowledge” from headlines.
Nadler, and all the other Democrat committees will keep this hysteria running at full squeal pitch right on up to the election. Of course, nothing of substance will come from any of this, but commie headline writers will be in total operational orgasmic mode.
Try not to get too caught up in the narratives. It’s all for show. Nothing real.
Let them continue with this charade one day they will all fall off the cliff following Pelosi and AOC..AOC the moron is mainly behind this after all she runs everything not Nancy..Soros has put this idiot in place and is funding her..
Nancy and Company could end up creating the condition for blowback against them.
I move this post for ‘Post of the Day’. Can I get a second?
Sure they have - they the House.
The Republican Senate refuses to hear them !
Well except AOC’s ‘New Green Deal’. Roflol
That about sums it up!!
I have a feeling that all of this impeachment garbage is a ploy to call anything dealing with spygate “impeachment retaliation”. They want to drive this country further apart. Disgusting.
I wouldn't be surprised to find that the turtle isn't working behind the scene with Mitt to bring this about. Mitch will back stab anyone.
There are at least 15 Rinos that are ready to vote right now for removal. If it gets to that point, expect another 20 Republicans to jump on that train because they want to be bipartisan. There will be 80-85 votes for when it comes down to it.
it would be the end of the Republican party.
Looks like the Democrats aren’t happy with their 25+ Candidates.
Good point. Pelosi and the Dems have been is disarray and infighting since winning the House and have been unable to accomplish what they though they could. Now you got Fred Keller and the three other Reps winning their elections by 60% or more in most cases.
I imagine the Dems were not expecting that.
They’ve tried to impeach every Republican President since Eisenhower. They forced Nixon to resign 47 years ago, but I don’t think that they can do the same with Trump.
1) If they do this, they will give rise to a definite 100% certainty of President Trump’s reelection.
2) If they do this, they may even give rise to acts of violence directed at them.
3) If they do this, they will start a new tradition, that every President from now on will be impeached by the opposing party.
If the Dims impeach, then they stay focused on 2016, consequently do nothing to prepare for 2020, and it all blows up in their faces and we win bigly. If they don't impeach, then Trump calls them out as the worthless cowards that they are, it blows up in their faces, and we win bigly in 2020.
They can choose their poison.
